A children's photographic competition has put some of north Norfolk's most spectacular sights in the frame.

Sheringham Chamber of Trade and Commerce organised the event in conjunction with local schools to help promote the area.

And the winning snaps were unveiled during the second annual North Norfolk Tourism Fair in the town's community centre last week.

Pupils were asked to submit entries under the headline: Why visitors should come to north Norfolk.

The winning photos will be displayed at the new tourist information centre when it opens next month.

Molly Baker, 18, from Sheringham Sixth Form, said: 'I took a photo of a boat in Cromer as it's a place where families go on holiday. Being one of the winners has been very rewarding.'

Other winners included: Stephanie Claxton and Oscar Veal from Sheringham High School; Georgia Pegg, Alex Russell, Jamie Smith and Katelyn Smith from Sheringham Junior School; and Kirk Cushion from Woodfields School.

More than 20 local businesses were represented at the tourism fair, now in its second year. And they revealed they are expecting an increase in staycationers - people who holiday at home.

The schools photographic competition was judged by local artist Brian Lewis; Martin Reed from Hill Top; Trevor Eady, general manager of North Norfolk Railway; and Nikki Lock from the Driftwood Gallery.

Andy Bullen, secretary of Sheringham Chamber of Trade and Commerce, said: 'The fair is to advertise what north Norfolk provides for tourists, if we didn't have tourism we wouldn't have towns like Cromer or Sheringham. It's to get people to come to north Norfolk full stop.

'Getting schools involved is good so they realise how important tourism is to this area. They might also want to get in the industry and it helps because local businesses need local people. I'd also like to thank the schools for their cooperation.'
